I am having a strange problem.
My view consists of a viewflipper with two children. One of them is
my loading screen, the other is the main screen.
The main view is a simple linearlayout, with a linearlayout as
adcontainer (52dp) and the rest of the view as content.
When I don't add an admob ad to the adcontainer, everything works
fine. However, when I do add a ad, then I get strange layout problems
when returning to this view from a ad-click or other activity: It
looks like android doesn't always realizes that the taskbar is hidden
and doesn't shift the view back to full screen, leaving a black empty
taskbar visible, while shifting the rest of the view down. When I
press menu, the view gets shifted back to the original way it should
be.
When I don't add the ad, everything keeps being normal, so it looks
like it has something to do with the Admod adview.
Please see http:/www.umito.nl/admob_error.png for what happens. (A
screenshot right from my device).
Any ideas how to fix this? Since I can't release my app this way.
Other info: Screenorientation is landscape and theme is
theme.NoTitleBar.Fullscreen.
Kind regards,

Have the same issue. Resorted to removing the AdView, recreating and
re-adding it once the ad that was clicked was dismissed.

We were unable to reproduce this with a simple ViewFlipper app on the Droid X, HTC Evo, Nexus S, or donut emulator. What version of Android (and device) are you testing on?

The error showed up on my HTC Desire Z, running Android 2.2
This weekend I will try to see if it also happens in the emulator.

It looks like the issue is not due to admob, but due to Android
itself.
The bug occurs sometimes. It looks likely due to a race condition.
It occurs only when I go from my activity (that has theme fullscreen-
notitlebar and is in landscape) to another activity that has normal
theme and is not landscape. When switching back, sometimes the menubar
retracts but leaves a black empty space.
For a solution see: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/4328534/force-a-full-screen-activity-to-remeasure-redraw-on-resume

Peter,
You are correct. This appears to be a bug in Android when a WebView is
at the top of the layout. We are looking into this issue.
Thanks
